The period is the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

For example, displacement, velocity, and acceleration are vector quantities, while speed (the magnitude of velocity), time, and mass are scalars. To qualify as a vector, a quantity having magnitude and direction must also obey certain rules of combination.
Dimension of pressure is same as that of energy per unit volume. Pressure is the force on a unit surface area. Pascal is the unit for pressure, hence when a pressure is applied on any dimension is the same as that of the energy exerted per unit volume.
The dimension of force, another derived unit, is the same as the dimension of mass times acceleration, and hence the dimension of force is [MLT−2].
The dimension of the energy is same as the dimension of the work done.
Some common scalar quantities are distance, speed, mass, and time. Some common vector quantities are force, velocity, displacement, and acceleration.
Which of the following quantities have same dimensions as of energy power force Momentum work?
Linear momentum and impulse have same dimensions [MLT−1].

Units of RC=ohm×ohm−1× second = second. Therefore dimensions of RC= time.
[d?′men·ch?n·?l ′kän·st?nt] (physics) A physical quantity whose numerical value depends on the units chosen for fundamental quantities but not on the system being considered.

| Metric (SI) Dimensions | length2 × mass × time-3 × electric-current-2 | These are the dimensions of the "electric resistance" quantity in SI units. There are other unit systems used in electromagnetics that may assign different dimensions. |
In metre–kilogram–second (mks) and SI units, B and H have different dimensions, and the permeability of free space (symbolized μ0) was defined as equal to 4π × 10-7 weber per ampere-metre so that the mks unit of electric current may be the same as the practical unit, the ampere.
Answer. so, dimensionally, pressure ≠ energy per unit area. option (A) is incorrect. so, dimensionally, pressure = energy per unit volume.
Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
In general, if the dimensions are same, the quantities do represent the same physical content. Like work and energy have the same dimensions and represent inter-convertible quantity. These two quantities represent the same quantity - same meaning and content.
The present SI has seven base quantities: time, length, mass, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.
A physical dimension is a property we associate with physical quantities for purposes of classification or differentiation. Mass, length, and force are examples of physical dimensions. A set of primitive dimensions is chosen by convention to define a system of units of measure.
Dimensional formula (equation) (Definition) : An equation, which gives the relation between fundamental units and derived units in terms of dimensions is called dimensional formula (equation). In mechanics the length, mass and time are taken as three base dimensions and are represented by letters L, M, T respectively.
Dimensions are physical quantities that can be measured, whereas units are arbitrary names that correlate to particular dimensions to make it relative (e.g., a dimension is length, whereas a meter is a relative unit that describes length).
Yes, a quantity can have unit but no dimension. These are Dimensionless Quantities , some of which have units. This would be things like angles, proportions, or ratios. An example would be an angle of one radian.
Comment. example, universal gravitational constant, Planck's constant etc.
Units and dimensions
| Quantity | Dimension | Unit |
|---|
| acceleration | [L T-2] | meter per second squared |
| density | [M L-3] | kilogram per cubic meter |
| force | [M L T-2] | newton |
| pressure | [M L-1 T-2] | pascal |
A dimensionless variable (DV) is a unitless value produced by (maybe repeatedly) multiplying and dividing combinations of physical variables, parameters, and constants.
Elastic modulus, by comparison, has to do with the linear portion of the stress-strain curve. Furthermore, it's a fact both toughness and elastic modulus have identical units. Since stress is in pascals and strain is dimensionless, toughness has units of pascals.
Or, I = [M1 L2 T0] × [M0 L0 T-2] = [M L2 T-2]. Therefore, the torque is dimensionally represented as [M L2 T-2].
Note : One should not be confused with the similer form tension in both the physical quantities-surface tension and tension. Dimensional formula for both of them is not same.
Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Torque is a vector quantity. The direction of the torque vector depends on the direction of the force on the axis.
Thus the dimension of plank's constant h is [ML2T−1]
Torque has the dimension of force times distance, symbolically L2MT−2. Although those fundamental dimensions are the same as that for energy or work, official SI literature suggests using the unit newton metre (N⋅m) and never the joule. The unit newton metre is properly denoted N⋅m.
The units for torque and work happen to have the same dimensions but torque and work are very different concepts. Work is a scalar and torque is a vector. whereas Torque is the cross product of Force and Distance. Torque does work over an angular distance whereas Work is to define linear motion.
Work is a scalar quantity, so it has only magnitude and no direction.
Work transfers energy from one place to another, or one form to another. The SI unit of
work is the joule (J).

| In SI base units | 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−2 |
| Derivations from other quantities | W = F ⋅ s W = τ θ |
| Dimension | M L2 T−2 |
Answer. work is the dot product of force and displacement along force. kinetic energy and potential energy. here we can see of work and energy have same dimensional formula.
